To earn a living, Devonie buys and sells trinkets she picks up at probate sales and auctions of unclaimed storage units. But her latest treasure trove happens to include the belongings of an international hired assassin, and this means that Devonie is in big, big trouble.

Her simple life as a treasure hunter turns into a quagmire of complications that nearly get her killed as she tries to uncover the mystery behind the items she discovers in the chest. Her investigation leads her back to the Pacific, where it all began, and the discovery of two deaths ignites a feeding frenzy of police and media speculation.

3. A Deadly Change of Heart (2001)
Devonie has a knack for stumbling into trouble. After she successfully bids on a Ford Explorer at a U.S. Marshal’s auction, she finds she’s bought more than just an SUV. The surprise "extra" lands her in the middle of a police investigation into the death of a local reporter. Unsatisfied with the detective’s conclusion that the death was an accident, Devonie sets out to find the killer on her own. Her efforts to retrace the reporter’s steps as she worked on her last story give Devonie a number of clues, and just as many suspects. The dead woman’s estranged husband keeps landing at the top of Devonie’s list, but stolen plutonium, homemade atomic bombs, and a shady drug dealer add other possibilities to her growing list of suspects. When Devonie gets too close to discovering the identity of the murderer, she becomes the next target of a killer who’ll stop at nothing to protect his interests.

When the woman’s memory returns, she tells Devonie that her name is Ronnie, and she is the sister of a racecar driver. She was supposed to go with him and others to Cabo St. Lucas on vacation but was left behind. Soon, Devonie discovers that she is also an inventor and has discovered a way to make cars run without gasoline.

Before she can cash it in, the ticket is stolen, and Devonie suspects the original owner of the house did not die a natural death. Not only has he passed away, his son had committed suicide shortly after. Much to the chagrin of Detective Sam Wright, Devonie launches her own investigation into the "murder" and theft of the ticket.
